Creation Station MonuMENtal Blog Hop

May 5, 2019 by Mikaela Titheridge 10 Comments

We have a MonuMENtal Blog Hop for you this month here at the Creation Station, as we design for Men.

 

Creation Station Craft Inspiration using Stampin' Up! Products

Can you believe it’s May already? Well, last month I had the pleasure of sharing OnStage with the lovely Kathy Kartak who’s blog you may have hopped over from. OnStage is an official convention for Demonstrators that’s hosted every six months. Kathy, being in the UK at the time, joined my team, the Stampin’ STYlettes and I for this fabulous event. She’s a talented lady, so I’m sure she’ll have inspired you already.

I have a few Birthday’s coming up, for young men, so set to work designing for them in mind. What do you create for a 12 year old though? Denim!

I started to think of masculine textures of metal, corrugated cardboard and Denim, something our son loves to wear. Inspired by this, I looked on my shelves at what sets spoke to me and ended up reverting to ink.

Creating a faux Denim look

I used an old Night of Navy Ink pad, that required a little inking and dragged this across a Balmy Blue card base. First in one direction and then in the other. It’s a rough kind of effect, but one that I rather liked. A layer of Corrugated Smoky Slate and a banner in the shape of a jeans pocket and I was ready for the sentiment.

Well Written is a great Die Set that can be used for many an occasion. Knowing that I wanted to add some Star Embellishments, I decided to use Silver Foil to help pull everything together. I thought this card and layout was most suitable for a 12 year old. I hope he’ll like it.

Well I hope you’ve enjoyed my monuMENtal share with you today and I’ve inspired you with cardstock, ink and a sentiment to get creative. Lets hop on over to see what Jennifer Downey has in store for us this month.

    I love when a technique comes around again, like all good things in life. It’s been a long while since I did denim and your card has me thinking i need to give it a whirl again! Great use of this technique Mikaela!

    Totally awesome faux denim and loved that you mixed it with the corrugated EF. My son would love that card – perfect for a 12 year old!

Today I'm thinking Glitter and Glamour as part of Today I'm thinking Glitter and Glamour as part of the Stampin' Creative Blog Hop. I pulled upon the Dressed to Impress stamp set and the flowers from the True Love Papers for a somewhat glamorous new friend of mine. @jogaffney_thestyletherapist has been a fabulous inspiration during this past year and as this card evolved, the more I thought of her and her style. She is indeed fabulous and I couldn't recommend her more.
